Nice outing for Correia. Somehow.

 

I wonder if you give him the quick hook tonight, or ride the wave of luck?

[Guest USAFChief]

Nobody say nothin'! Let's not jinx anything here.

[ashbury]

He kept looking into the catcher, then stepping off the rubber and starting over.

 

Hargrove would've gotten beaned more, if he'd tried that kind of malarkey.

[LaBombo]

Keeps taking off and putting on the glove?

 

Hmmm. Not sure why, but this comment made me think of a former Boston shortstop.

If they can somehow get two more good innings from him, I say they thank their lucky stars and call it a night for him.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

When are they going to start getting Morales some at bats

Ah, Johnny Pesky. Great ballplayer.

Ok, but promise that no later than the middle of the 6th, there will be a righty, a lefty, and an AC-130 gunship warming up in the pen.

[Tibs]

That's not a fun spot to get hit with a pitch

[zchrz]

The stage is now set for a drag bunt, great acting from Arcia and Nunez.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Morales=singles hitter...sweet!

I just saw a double

[Tibs]

Has anyone mentioned how awesome Arcia's haircut is? Just goes with his personality

[twinsnorth49]

Morales now 1-4. Just like the Twins to go out and sign a .250 hitter with no power.

 

....don't look now but he's doubled his average .

[Guest USAFChief]

What you saw was a triple, that resulted in a double.

[twinsnorth49]

Name the fun spot to get hit.

[longstrangetrip]

Yeah. You know, in a lifetime of playing amateur baseball, I've never seen a batter hit one off the instep. Just shows how much heavier the pros throw the ball...thank god.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

And with your 65th birthday coming up, we're proud of your two-plus decades of accomplishment.

Following the Demographic here on TD game thread, your estimate would be correct.

[longstrangetrip]

I don't know for sure, but it appears he's lost a step since beating out that grounder to short.

When I read this:

 

"We need innings," Gardenhire said of the decision to extend Guerrier's outing. "It looked like Matty was starting to lose it there. We were trying to get him through another inning, at least through a couple hitters."

 

this morning, my first thought was that we are headed for a 13-man pitching staff again.

 

Not sure that comment jives with Gardenhire pulling Correia quickly.

[Taildragger8791]

Anywhere below the neck on the other guy.

[stringer bell]

Arcia & Pinto (Venezuela), Nuñez & Santana (Dominican Republic) and Morales (Cuba). No Puerto Ricans? I guess we have to wait for Rosario and Berrios.

Topic moved to The Sports Bar...

Circle me Bert, I'm second knuckle deep in my right nostril

Probably not a bad idea.

I can't "like" this but agree, sadly... Where is Brock with the button?

"We're already paying him, we might as well leave him in."
